The depression comix are what gives this comic its soul, but I really am glad that they're used sparingly (it's going to be my first Christmas alone this year so this comic was a bit of a punch to the gut :smith: )

On the pus side, good to see Mr. Jones is back.

We saw him quite recently in a comic panel. That was just twenty months ago. Sure felt shorter than that. Must be because the breaks.

I gravitated towards the Greens, eventually even joining the party itself.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

Man, I wish I could do that. The last time this happened to me, I smashed the door closed with so much force it sprang up again and a bowl of glass fell out and exploded on the ground.

Though the half an hour I needed to clean up the mess did cool me down somewhat, so it wasn't all bad

I'm starting to think that Pasqualo is not okay. I know she says different, so I am probably just paranoid.

Maybe he does. Maybe he actually planned all of this. Maybe he secretly resents her. Maybe he's just manipulating Allison, texting her in a terrible moment to ruin everything. Maybe the next page of this comic consists of nothing more than Tubsy having an evil grin. :tinfoil:

Nah, Tubsy is good.

Tubsy is a good dude but doesn't seem to actually help very much.

It might be relevant that in It Hurts!!, the post-apocalypse scenario built specifically for Pasqualo had Tubsy die immediately, even if that wan't what Pasq wanted.

If there's one thing this comic does extremely well, it's representing depression very well. I have done things like this in the past. The worst part of depression is putting a happy face on because depression is a motherfucker.

Hats off to Gob/Josef for making this brutally honest work, you bastards.

I don't know, she says she doesn't understand romance and that's like the one thing I'm inclined to believe her about.

As I said, it might just be me. I thought there was some odd picture of Ally and pasq living at a barn in IT. Was that a thing at all? I could swear someone dug up a picture that had been blurred in the comic proper.

Edit: and even if there were other things going on im also all aboard the 'pasq has sad brains' train.

This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.

That's not necessarily a sign of romantic feelings. Pasqualo and Ally, in both iterations, were very close friends of the sort that could settle down and live a life together.


I'm running under the theory that Aurora was created specifically to be an ideal girlfriend for Pasq, and is now in a universe where the guy she was made for doesn't exist, so romance as a whole doesn't make sense to her. She was made to love and be loved by someone that just isn't there.
